V7 Recruitment · Birmingham · £45,000 – £50,000 pa

Designs new electronic products and improves existing ones, taking requirements through specification, test plans, component selection, schematic and PCB design, and analogue, digital, power and interface circuits. Works with embedded C or C++ firmware and is mentored by a Senior Designer within a small design team, fully remotely for a UK engineering and manufacturing business.

Gold Group · Bedford · £54 – £64 ph

Lead the design, development and support of mixed electrical/electronic LRU solutions from concept to completion through a phase-gate process, including analogue, digital, microprocessor and FPGA circuitry, schematic capture and PCB layout. The role provides technical governance to the team, reviews supplier capabilities and produces documentation, working on-site two mandatory days a week.

Averna Powered By Spherea · Christchurch

Designs and develops electrical and electronic hardware for bespoke automated and manual test systems, spanning requirements, concept, detailed design, integration, verification and customer acceptance. Works alongside systems, software, mechanical and production engineers, selecting instrumentation, power supplies, switching and data acquisition, and supporting PCB development, fault-finding and CE/UKCA conformity.

Semtech · Bristol

Lead bench PVT characterization for high-speed optical and electrical signal integrity products, developing automated test environments and analyzing complex datasets. Work with an international team across the UK, Canada, US and Mexico, using Python automation and mentoring junior engineers in a lab-based NPI role.

Analog Devices · Edinburgh

Contribute to pre-silicon verification of analog and mixed-signal products, covering top-level DMS SV/UVM, gate-level simulation, and metric-driven AMS simulations. Bridge verification and validation environments to support post-silicon validation while establishing and improving verification flows and models for a global multi-disciplinary team.

Archangel Lightworks · Oxford · £25,000 – £60,000 pa

Develops laser communication terminal optical and photonic subsystems, from requirements definition and trade-off analysis through modelling, breadboard testing, and assembly, integration and test. Works closely with the Product Technical Lead and optical engineering team, managing component suppliers and providing technical leadership of subsystem projects, with system-level testing and field trials.

IonQ · Oxford

Lead validation and characterisation of analogue and mixed-signal ASICs for trapped-ion quantum processors, from test planning and platform development through first-silicon bring-up, debug and system integration. The role spans room-temperature and cryogenic (around 4 K) measurements on packaged parts, chip-on-board assemblies and bare die, with heavy Python automation and test PCB work.

IonQ · Oxford

Owns full-chip mixed-signal modelling and verification for cryo-CMOS ASICs used in trapped-ion quantum processors, building Verilog-A/AMS and real-number models correlated against schematic and measured silicon. Leads AMS methodology, sign-off criteria and reviews, runs Cadence AMS/Xcelium-Spectre co-simulation regressions, and mentors engineers through tape-out and bring-up.

Lumai · Oxford

Owns signal and power integrity across high-speed boards and packages, running pre-layout channel studies, post-layout SI analysis with IBIS-AMI models, and PDN impedance and DC drop work for high-current ASIC and FPGA rails. Channels span chip, package, interposer, board and optical engine, with heavy bench correlation using VNAs, TDRs and oscilloscopes to feed design rules.

Cadence · Newcastle upon Tyne

Develops and maintains a C++ codebase for next-generation EDA tools, focusing on computational geometry, geometry manipulation and algorithmic complexity for sub-20nm IC design. Involves writing design, function and test specifications, interfacing with build and regression systems, and collaborating with a global cross-functional team.
